I graduated from the University of Washington with a B.S. in Biochemistry. While there I tutored several classmates in Chemistry as it was my favorite subject. I am a patient person who is able to break down complicated ideas so that they are easy to understand. I am planning to attend law school next fall. I also tutor the LSAT. In my spare time I enjoy skiing, water sports, and watching Husky football.

...to Astronomy, Physics, Economics, and even to "soft" sciences like Psychology through Statistics. Getting students to understand the broader picture of why math is important has proven to be very effective in providing positive motivation for learning math.
Math and science aside, I'm interested in health, nutrition, economics, psychology, philosophy, and music. I read 1 to 2 books a week, and I'm also a tournament chess player. Thank you for your time, and I hope to...

...even with a solid knowledge foundation tests like the ACT require a substantial amount of exam specific preparation. While my engineering background provides me the opportunity to tutor more advanced math, science, and engineering subjects, I enjoy helping students of all ages and ability levels learn. In my free time, I love to play sports, ski and travel and have been to many countries including Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Argentina, France, Greece, and more.

...also have experience with the MCAT (medical school test) and scientific research so if you are an aspiring doctor or scientist I am here for you! I have some previous experience teaching AP chemistry and AP biology as well as working with immigrants learning English. My teaching style is efficient but relaxed. Instead of giving lectures, I like to see students work out problems on their own as much as possible before I jump in...

...will be returning to the UW to pursue a PharmD degree in 2013. I have been tutoring for six years, both informally and through organizations such as UW and Bellevue College. I like teaching and continue to tutor because I enjoy helping students improve. I believe anyone can learn math and science. I work with my students to help them understand not only how to solve problems, but also the fundamental concepts behind them.

...who benefitted from the help of tutors when I was younger, I am excited to be giving back as a tutor with Varsity Tutors! Coming into the University of Washington, I was declared as a Physics major and took a few upper division physics courses before I switched to Engineering. I am extremely passionate about physics; however, I switched to Engineering as I found myself more interested the tangible aspects of physics and their applications...

...how much harder it would have been from community college, but honestly, it was not that much more difficult. During my undergraduate career, I partook in activities such as the UW dream project where we mentored high school children that came from low economic backgrounds, undergraduate research, and some Vietnamese based volunteer work. I also did some freelance tutoring around my University campus in subjects such as Organic Chemistry, upper division Biology, Introductory Biology, as...

Robert

...prefer to tutor math. I think math is the foundation for many sciences and a solid understanding of math can lead to a better understanding of subjects like physics and chemistry. I think that education is based on building habits rather than falling into a pattern of getting behind then cramming. A lot of education is sequential and taking shortcuts doesn't always work. As someone who just returned to Seattle, I enjoy exploring new aspects...

...on the pre-medical track. I am particularly interested in High School and College science and math courses. At UW, I have taken the General Chemistry series, the General Biology series, Honors Organic Chemistry, Calculus I & II, and various Public and Environmental Health courses. In addition to these courses, I am also trained as an EMT-B and volunteer at Roots homeless shelter. I have experience as a Boys and Girls Club tutor as well as...

...the IB program, some AP courses, and the standardized testing of today’s college application process. I currently attend Pomona College, where I am working towards a Bachelor of Arts degree and am focusing on the field of social sciences. My school experience has encompassed private and public school, home schooling, and parent-teacher co-ops. I began tutoring as a freshman in high school, and have continued to tutor elementary through high school levels of math, reading,...
